interesting take on this type of flower...8

great! nice colors

Very nice bloom, needs a contrast boost and maybe a diff crop/composition to make it "pop" a little more!

Lovely. Perhaps a tighter crop, particularly on the left?

Nice colors. A tighter crop would have worked better imho.

I do love flowers... and I enjoy how the background is not in focus at all, it adds to the flower... well done.

Great DOF! Colors look great also.

Some thoughts:

-I like the shallow dof
-Becuase flower pics are so often posted they're needs to be something extra special about them to get above a 5. This one doesn't really do anything for me.
Score: 5

Nice exposure, but why use a horizontal crop instead of a vertical or square which would seem to suit the subject better?

Great yellow/red contrast detail. Good photograph. 7

Nice colors and bokeh. The stem on the right is distracting. Might have worked better with a verticle aproach.

the extra space around this isn't doing the composition any favors, I would prefer to see it cropped right down. I could still see your lens' pretty bokeh and see more of what you were really shooting with it cropped tight. :-)
